Devices REST: Keys

A Device Key is a credential that enables your devices to connect to gateways of Twilio Sync for IoT. The Key consists of a public SID part that identifies it and a private secret part, automatically generated by the Device Manager during creation of the Key resource. A single Key may simultaneously belong to just one Device, however each Device may have multiple keys.

Keys allow the developer to:

Authenticate the devices in order to reliably establish their identity and access to Twilio services

Revoke access to Twilio services for individual devices if they get compromised

Renew access rights periodically, e.g. per a key rotation policy
